Weight Loss Options
The Bravera Health Seven Rivers bariatric program offers surgical weight loss options when traditional dieting and exercising have failed. Various weight loss procedures work to reduce:
- Stomach size to limit how much food you can eat at one time. It also helps you feel full after eating only a small amount.
- Stomach size and change the digestive tract to limit the calories absorbed.
- Production of a hormone responsible for appetite. A decreased appetite may make it even easier to eat less.
However, weight loss procedures are most effective when committing to lifestyle changes, including regular exercise and a new, healthier eating plan. Together, these will help you maximize weight loss and keep the weight off long-term.

Surgical Weight Loss Options
Laparoscopic surgery is a virtually scarless approach to surgery. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery is an advanced, minimally invasive technique. The procedure is performed through the belly button, leaving patients with minimal or no visible scar. This approach means less post-operative pain, quicker recovery time and reduced risk of wound site infections.
Deciding whether you are a candidate for this approach depends on liver size, body mass index (BMI) and previous surgeries. The surgical approach can be discussed in your initial consultation.
